CBI justifies Delhi CM Kejriwal's arrest in SC
Millennium Post Delhi
|August 24, 2024
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday defended in the Supreme Court the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying it was necessary as he chose to remain “evasive and non-cooperative” in his replies to questions about his role in the alleged excise policy scam.
-
In its detailed affidavit filed in response to Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest by the central agency, the CBI alleged all critical decisions in the formulation of the now- scrapped excise policy were taken at his behest with the connivance of the then deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.
Claiming that Kejriwal was attempting to “politically sensationalise” the case, the CBI said he was involved in the criminal conspiracy in the formulation and implementation of the excise policy, and his arrest on June 26 was necessary for a just conclusion of the probe as he was “purposely derailing” the investigation.
